  • Outdoor sales (tent sale, sidewalk sale, Christmas tree sales, firework sales, and similar uses
  • Outdoor event in a non-residential district (carnivals, fairs, athletic events, auto shows, and similar uses)
  • Temporary roadside farm stands in zoning districts other than AA-agricultural
  • Home occupation
  • Mobile food vending
